Motivation Mondays

(via)

I recently read an article about how modern society is becoming a civilization of zombies… people walking thoughtlessly through the streets with blank stares focused down on their phones.  The photos that accompanied the article – masses of people walking down a sidewalk staring at their phones; or someone strolling head down, unaware, through an intersection – were frightening and hit close to home. Way too close to home.  They made me realize that I need to focus less on finding the perfect pic to take and more on the life that’s happening live, right in front of me.  I know it’s easier said than done, but if I put it out here, maybe that’ll make it more official?

Anybody else feel they need to do the same?

Friday Favorites

(via Shelby of Joielala)

Happy Friday!!!  It is here, finally.  What’s everyone’s plans for the weekend?  Mine (Karrie, that is) includes loads of time vegging, cuddling, juicing (what? yes), cooking, boxing, reading, blogging (hopefully) and just being home, doing nothing but everything to help me unwind from the week and a month of traveling.

Anywho, check out our latest Friday delights, our favorite things we’re oohing and aahing over right.now:

1. The first full album, like ever, which I’ve downloaded and in which I’ve liked almost every song. Brit electronic at its finest:


2. This online post we happened upon this week, which was surprisingly sweet and warmed our cold hearts:

3. Some gladiator sandals for next summer on sale for $13.98!!! – get ’em while ya can, people!:

4. Plaid magic, right here for less than $22:

5. Essie’s delicious new perfectly Fall color, “Going Incognito”:

6. This eargasmic re-mix – I just can’t stop listening:

7. Cotton candy in the form of 22 minutes on E!, thanks to their newest show Eric & Jessie: Game On. Don’t ask questions; don’t worry what it’s doing to your brain; just watch and find yourself wanting to start wearing plaid shirts, cut-off jean shorts and yell to your man, “Bayyyyyyyyyyyby!”
